I am building a new PC and I was wondering if the Noctua NH-D15 fit on my motherboard, as you know the CPU cooler is really big and I have seen reviews on it and it does not fit on my some motherboards, so i wanted to know if it would fit on mine and interfer with my GPU

Motherboard: MSI Z97-Gmaing 5

I am building a new PC and I was wondering if the Noctua NH-D15 fit on my motherboard that consists of my MSI gtx 970 and interfere with a it as you know the CPU cooler is really big and I have seen reviews on it and it does not fit on my some motherboards, so i wanted to know if it would fit on mine

Won't interfere. Have the same motherboard and the first pci-e slot is a 1x one so the graphics card goes one beneath that. CPU cooler won't ever interfere with your video card unless you have a really tiny motherboard.

Should be fine  :D

 

Just make sure your case can accommodate the height of that cooler.

Can you please suggest some cases that can accommodate it with good looking designs and stuff?

usually any case with a 140mm rear I/O fan will accommodate the NH-series HSF.

the 120 rear fan cases still can fit, but there are not very many.

Would a water cooler be good like Corsair h110, I'm scared of the water cooling because it may leak and damage the whole system, so would it be necessary

All in one liquid cooler is closed loop and will never leak unless you deliberately damage the tubing.

pretty much the same boat on cases with the H110 as with the Noctua, finding

enough roof room for the H110 and fans can be tough(er). i understand your

hesitation, but leaks are generally installer error and few-and-far-between out

of the box. the AIOs aren't as scary as most push them off to be. just gotta

put the big-boys under-roos on and go for it. if reluctant, the the NH-D14/15,

TC14PE, or Dark Rock 3 will be your HSF.

How does it work do we have to refill the liquid or it circulates around?

Already filled and circulates in a fixed loop. Can't open it up and never have to refill.
